Core i5-8265U vs Core i7-4702MQ benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8265U is faster than the Core i7-4702MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4702MQ in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4702MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8265U. Despite this, the Core i5-8265U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8265U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4702MQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-8265U has more L2 cache than the Core i7-4702MQ. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-8265U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
